Garrett Jin, trader and co-founder of XHash, posted that the market currently holds a structural misconception regarding oil prices. Garrett Jin noted that Brent crude is quoted at approximately $106 and WTI at around $95, seemingly within a manageable range—but this only reflects localized conditions in the Atlantic basin. The true pressure signal lies in the Dubai/Oman crude benchmark, which has approached $155. Crude flows through the Strait of Hormuz are primarily directed toward Asian markets, not Western ones, meaning Western benchmark prices fail to accurately reflect the actual supply and demand dynamics in Asia’s energy markets. Garrett Jin believes this price divergence is not a short-term fluctuation but has structural characteristics.

Summary
Garrett Jin, co-founder of XHash, under the account '1011内幕地址', highlights a critical flaw in the current price analysis of oil markets. While Brent and WTI prices are regarded as key indicators, he argues they overlook the broader picture. Dubai/Oman crude has surged to nearly $155, signaling tighter conditions in Asian markets. Jin explains that crude from the Strait of Hormuz primarily serves Asia, rendering Western benchmarks misleading for market analysis. This disconnect underscores the need for a more region-specific approach to energy pricing.
